Ornament #3

This is the 3rd of the L*K Christmas Blessings ornaments. Hubby and I decided the dove wasn't standing out enough based on the pattern and the fabric and so I outlined it and this is what came out.

Wow.... Two Finishes in Four Days

I know I can't keep this streak going but I'll ride as long as possible. Here is the second of the 12 Blessings of Christmas by L*K

Minor finish at end of 2012

This was nearly done before I picked it up on 12/31..just needed red on dress and black eyes and backstitch. Anyway here it is: L*K Love Ornament

Happy New Year to all

2012 may not have been the best, but there is always hope that 2013 will be better for us all on a lot of levels! Here's wishing you a lot health, wealth, stitching time and happiness for the coming year!

2012 has not been a good year ....

For me, this has not been the best year in the world and I hope 2013 looks up on a lot of levels. Classes have been pretty good and with the class this spring I'll have 146 out of the 150 hours I need to take the CPA. I'm going to try to set that up quickly. I figure if I could do it right either October 2013 or April 2014 will be when I take that test. These classes have just kicked my stitching time down along with spending too much time on Facebook. I apologize to all of you who have been following me expecting to see a lot of pictures. Hopefully that will change quickly. I have several projects near close to finish ( at least 3/4 done) so that will be where I plan to start for 2013. Happy Holidays to all of you! ( for whichever holiday you do celebrate in the next few days to week)

WIPocalpse August #2

No pictures but I have picked up the needle a few times...most recent for a friend's project. I am in the middle of classes but I'm trying to pick up the needle again in the midst of job hunting and a few other things.

Sorry I haven't been around

Life after February or March got way out of whack and it has taken this long to get back in somewhat a state of balance. I haven't picked up a needle since about mid March. I plan to pick it up again here over the next couple of weeks and over the olympics. I'll probably do a few sprints since I have a couple that are close and then I plan to pull out a big piece I think and go back and frog it because I'm off just like 5 stitches but I can't fudge it to make it work. It is a huge piece that I plan to give away to my parents but I might stitch it again myself because I like it so much and I have a similar piece that matches out that I plan to do. Anyway no pics since I haven't touched it but will get ones in a bit once I add more.
